Except for me of course. I want a transparent amp but not a colored one.
Amps I am finding out have different factors that you can't find out in
regular sales information. I listen to music 24/7 so a less distorion is
required. Things like a regulated power supply is something few amps
have. Qaulity components is a second factor. Good music is a third
factor from a good source like new LP's. CD's have too low a sampling
rate for good music.
